Patients with bipolar disorder have tendencies of higher impulsivity and sensation seeking, they might contribute differently to the emotional states of bipolar I (BD I) and II (BD II). We administered the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ), the Plutchik-van Praag Depression Inventory (PVP), the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), and the Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) in 23 patien...

The Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ), a tool designed to measure the alternative five-factor model of personality, was translated and adapted into the Spanish language. To date, there appears to be no normative data for the ZKPQ in general population samples in any culture. The aim of this study was to obtain Spanish normative data for the scales and subscales in a community s...

This study examined the behavioral effects of d-amphetamine and recreational activities, alone in combination, high low impulsive sensation seekers. Healthy 18-27 year-old participants, scoring upper (N=8) or lower third college students on sensation-seeking scale Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire, completed eight test days which sessions were before (i.e., baseline) 60, 120 180 minut...

This paper has possibly a very different preoccupation than motivated Lucien Hardy in developing his famous paper, 'Quantum Theory from Five Reasonable Axioms' (arxiv.org/ quant-ph/0101012). This paper comes out of a consideration of Hilbert's Sixth Prob-focussed by Wigner [8] in a famous discussion of the Problem of Quantum Measurement (arxiv.org/quant-ph/0502124). Hilbert meant an axiomatisat...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES For genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with case-control designs, one of the most widely used association tests is the Cochran-Armitage (CA) trend test assuming an additive mode of inheritance. The CA trend test often has higher power than other association tests under additive and multiplicative disease models. However, it can have very low power under a recessive dis...

We analyzed the effect of physical forcing on zooplankton biomass distribution in the Strait of Gibraltar as a function of tidal phase. A set of 5 Longhurst-Hardy-Plankton-Recorder (LHPR) casts were made along the main channel of the Strait during different phases of the tidal cycle to determine how the hydrological processes taking place in the strait (mainly internal wave generation) influenc...

A celebrated theorem of L. Schwartz asserts that a function f on R is ‘rapidly decreasing’ (or in the ‘Schwartz class’) iff its Fourier transform is ‘rapidly decreasing’. Since this theorem is of fundamental importance in harmonic analysis, there is a whole body of literature devoted to generalizing this result to other Lie groups. (For example, see [18].) In sharp contrast to Schwartz’s theore...
